Only listened to Je Suis D'Ailleurs prior to the release, and that only once. Made me really excited, but listening to the whole thing when it came out was something completely different. I was sold when the first chorus of the title track kicked in...

Title track is beautiful. It almost feels like a statement after Shelter to say they can keep that dreamy shoegaze sound, expound on it and be successful without the dynamic of harsh vocals that fans yearned for when Shelter came out.
